[AceOfHeart2012]

I have always loved UFO. I'm just glad they decided to start writing lyrics before actually performing a song live.

[wowororo]

[williedb47]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing Tony. Nadine:)

[SiteRockCity]

Bandas bandidas, primórdios do underground, rock garage, para mim é inédito desde 1978, quando fui abduzido

[mrbonesmcgee]

Wtf is up with the old guy stripping on stage

[mgrg40]

SQUEAL!!! I love this! thanks for the post. I LOVE Michael Schenker!

[LowBid86]

HE PLAYED SCALES

[LowBid86]

I sure remember those striped pants!

[carywelch1971]

Yes yes yes !!!!

[captainsurfcaster]

PRICELESS!! Thanks for putting this up!

[AXEFLYERFV]

@captainsurfcaster You're so welcome!

[NeilThompson30]

@Silvertone1481 - how can the lyrics be ad-libbed!!? - Mogg's brilliant - but he doesn't make lyrics up on the spot!

[blacktoe0094]

Kick-Ass rock-roll !!

[blacktoe0094]

Micheal is the MAN!!!!



[wizerulz]

Pete Way....there's no telling how many bass players were influenced by Pete's stage presence any playing style

[obscurebandfan]

@wizerulz Most def man, he pretty much invented metal bass playing as we know it today.

[pbmax]

Dude! That geezer is crazy! See what we've got to look forward to when we get old - dementia! LOL!!!!

[HairyHempHead]

If it wasn't on film ,no one would believe it..... Where did you get this one from Axe???

[harwicke]

This is epic...early head banging! The blonde bomber strikes!

[Spunkalish]

@harwicke Head banging was going on for years, Elvis had headbangers man.

[Alxscode]

Dig the old laday fanning herself. Maybe it's too hot to handle for her.

[jeanjfksf]

what a fuck was that on 1:57? Crazy!

[dougl126]

Finally! A famous great guitar player that holds the pick the same way I do. I thought it was just a bad habit of mine, but if Michale Schenker can play like that then I can.

[remindbender]

freak in

ge t rid off/E bUy your demons

[remindbender]

[BlackmoreRules]

Absolutely loved this.

[arnuparp09]

สุด ยอดวะ

[guascorerules]

Wow!! Excellent video! Thanks AXEFLYERFV for puttin' this up!!

I love headbangin' at 4:17 :)

[LowBid86]

Phil Mogg you stupid jerk, MS made you!

[MrRichard911]

@LowBid86 well actually, he made a billion bands, including ratt and ufo ;)

[abomb13]

Thank You AXEFLYERFV! I have always heard about Micheal Schenker but never really heard him! Now I know what I have been missing for the last 30yrs! I can't get UFO off of my cd player now!

Thanx again,

Abomb13

[AXEFLYERFV]

@abomb13 You're very welcome man,I appreciate your comment, here  you can catch up now! lol!!

[AXEFLYERFV]

@abomb13 You're so welcome, so sorry for the late reply!

Take care & thank you too for tuning in & taking the time to comment!

[abomb13]

Different lyrics?

[AXEFLYERFV]

@abomb13 yes, differnt lyrics, this was before  it was recorded for the Phenomenon album!

[LowBid86]

Actually, we saw U2 (free!) at San Jose State in 1980...!

[dickifliszar1]

This is so much faster than the "75 live version you have posted before. They must have been a little nervous - of course they were younger, too, and maybe on something performance-enhancing ;0)

[driven43]

it seems every time I want to watch a youtube video it says AXEFLYERV on the bottom!

\m/ Rock Bottom! \m/

THANKS BRO!!

[woodcover]

schenker off the booze back to best

[opendoor1987]

this is an awesome raw and rare performance!!

[Brucev7]

Saw then several times from about 1976 on. Peace. 

[JohannaMirthless]

Great video! Must have been so cool to have a band like that play on campus. We'd never get anyone like that these days!

[AXEFLYERFV]

@JohannaMirthless  I agree with you 100%!

thnx for tuning in!

[STARinm32]

Raridade, lets go, the band rock garage best

[LowBid86]

If I could go back in time and place...this and San Francisco in the '20's!

[YesOuiSi]

VERY cool

[YesOuiSi]

VERY cool... it's the earliest UFO material I have seen or heard. Schenker played great in this performance, but he did get a lot sharper, very quickly for later performances in 1974 and on ... That dude stripping out of his shirt must have been on some really good "orange sunshine" or something like that! Heh heh heeh

[Defcon737]

maan if we had the bands and the goodies now days this would be some goodtimes,!

[LowBid86]

A working band with a sense of melody...

[pickypete0]

Thanks Axeflyer..once again you dig up a rare video..I did see Klause there with the beard..This was just after UFO snatched Schenker from Scorpions..while touring together.as UFO's opening act. keep em coming my friend.....if you like singing this song or would like to karaoke it's available now sbi karoake has made it and it's pretty good

[chucke1963]

This is the craziest thing I ever seen. Crazy lyrics, crazy old guy stripping on stage. You have enter the twilight zone....

[Jmurray5150]

Ho Shite!! Never seen this one, fukin' AWESOME!!!

[GreenerHill]

Wow, this is RARE! Thanks many times. UFO with a very new Schenker, and on fire. Brilliant.

[TheDennisod]

The version on Phenomenon blew me away in 74 . These old versions are really interesting...I've noticed Michael trying signal Andy to shift gears on the long solo

section , Right abot 3:23 in this rendition . On the recorded version , they nail that transition , and the next 30 seconds has been burned into my mind ever since .

[danstortion]

The sound is amazing!!!

[TRUBADORtv]

raw, raw, raw. they way rock should be. no hiding behind big distortions here folks. A+

[greaghreafen]

bizzare lirics!

[daisy1382]

Michael Shenker is huge!

[michelesaintthomas]

Still love this band and always will!

[BigKennyT666]

KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AXEFLYERFV]

@Thrashzzz you are Correct,Born January ,10, 1955!

[donogood]

Michael Schenker ist schon großartig

[cavemanfarts]

Is there an MP3 of this?

[photopicker]

this is rare footage ... before they really hit the scene big

[fretlessfrizz]

fetter sound

[wisuth51]

@fretlessfrizz The best of ROCK

[MrStratcaster]

man,das ist so gut

[MultiDean75]

good job they decided to change the lyrics !

[JeffWeavil]

Amazing

[truckingbob84]

wild lyrics....

[fucheduck]

the further back you go, the faster the tempo. I liked the 1975 concert though.

[FAHS78]

Wow,

What a classic with improv lyrics by Moog.

Schenker rules!

RJ

[SonofMorgoth]

The guy dancing is now the ceo of BP.

[LowBid86]

Saw these guys in '75 at Winterland, SF.  Montrose, Journey, and UFO. Not a bad lineup for $5!

[beyondtheveilofdeath]

...unforgettable golden times..............

[AXEFLYERFV]

@beestpassion2 This was a performance at a University so you know,1973,Peace & Love,Shrooms,etc...I know that "Twister" guy must of have been on something of that nature!

Great times back then!!

thnx for watching!

[shaman5150gmailcom]

Toca harto el chascón de la guitarra. Tiene onda. Me acordé del 2112.

[SounzNice]

This is really going back. Love it. TY.

[ebonics4everyone]

Bonus points for nerd semi-nudity. Also it is official that headbanging began in Deutschland. Metallica caught on to this trend ten years after it started.

[dopeythebde]

Never heard those lyrics before,Phils lyrics never did make much sense. But they Rocked then and still do. I saw them in 81 with Paul Chapman on guitar. and again in the late 90s they did the whole Strangers in the night album live with Michael Schenker. I still listen that album, Its one of the best live albums ever. All you young people ckeck it out

[tonythetemplar]

Love this guy on the floor. He looks like a nerd, a paper pusher somewhere in the office, but music got to him and set him free

[Chuichupachichi]

4:43 Some Headbangers in '73... no crops!

Old man was trip'n... too sexy for his shirt???

[Varragos]

Never saw this clip before....Its so fast, and with different lyrics...I love it! So classic...UFO is so underrated...Thanks so much for posting this!

[AnimalBlackmatism]

This will you you an idea of Michael's work on Lonesome Crow.

[gjvartanian]

One of the Biggest Underrated Rock Bands of all Time!!!

[bucktales1]

Thank You Mr. AXE.

These vids bring back good times.

I had the privilege seeing UFO in July 1977,Bridgeport, Ct., at the Jai Alai Fronton.

Blue Oyster Cult also played that Evening.

Thanks again, Cheers.

[AXEFLYERFV]

@bucktales1 you're so welcome mate!

I thank you for commenting & tuning in!

[5150mario]

Micheal Schenker was 17-18yrs old in this footage.

KLAUS MEINE!!!!!!! @@ 4:53

[haldanel]

AXFLYERFV, Thanks for posting this and other UFO videos! I am REALLY enjoying them! I saw UFO live circa 78, and they made a lasting impression on my young mind! On bass, Pete Way is one of my biggest influences. This early stuff with Schenker is just awesome!

[AXEFLYERFV]

@haldanel you're very welcome friend!!

[muttville1]

@BGo93 wanna b

[AXEFLYERFV]

@muttville1 ?????????

[muttville1]

@AXEFLYERFV is there something that is confusing u that i can help with?

[AXEFLYERFV]

@muttville1 not confusing just wondered why you had posted :

wanna b

that was all!

[Teutonic1250]

i want schenkers tone so badley

[PROFDK]

everybody wants that :P it's so awesome

[muttville1]

lol, alvin & da chipmunks version!

[mustaba1234]

the best version

[pieterjanoddens]

Wow, Micheal Schenker really ripps!

[ChillyFrize]

My guess is that the lyrics weren't done yet, he just wrote the chorus, and the song was unfinished. Even though every time I see Mogg live he "reinvents" the lyrics often. Like someone said below "that's Rock N Roll".

[kblakleyk916]

CLASSIC POST! WIN WIN!

[sxyltn408]

wow, michael at 18!! you never know what solo he will play, always improvises. Phil totally changed the lyrics, they on some good drugs..

[dockaiser]

Not so sure if they're all in tune, that's R 'n' R...

I love Schenker's solo. It's so straight out of the guitar without any effect.

He has a way of playing, that reminds me of Paul Kossoff. The way he pulls the strings and his vibrato..

[PIPPONS]

Absolutely klaus meine :-) in the audience

Thanks for this great clip.

[AXEFLYERFV]

you're welcome man & thank you for watching & comment!

[vamp2757]

Some headbangers in Germany have definitely been spotted. Nice to see.

[haus05]

@vamp2757 lol there are thousands upon thousands of german headbangers! woot woot

[AlegouveiaII]

whatahell is he singin?

[kingofthedeep]

Hey Axe. How do you know it's Klaus? I'm not saying its not. It's just that its so hard to tell. Just wondering.

BTW thank God for Youtube. For over 25 years all I had was audio to go by. Now I can see my 2 favorite guitar players all time.

Schenker and Roth.

[AXEFLYERFV]

Believe me brother if I wasn't 100% sure ,I would never even attemp to deceive anyone,.a few hints:

,around this time,Schenker was just fresh out of Scorpions(check my Promo video of I'm going I'M GOING MAD where Klaus's look has a beard)another one is ,he had a funny way of dancing when performing with Scorpions Promo videos or live .look at the way he moves his legs at the beat of the song & since he is kind of short you see him stretching up to get a better view!

I am sure it is him!

[kingofthedeep]

Yeah your right. I know about his dancing leg thing. And I also know he left about this time. And I have seen that video with the beard. What is your explanation about why Michael left UFO?

[AXEFLYERFV]

Ok' He had talked with Rudolph that if ever the oportunity to get out of Germany came it was best to take it,Hard Rock in Germany was still very underground type of music,so then UFO came to Germany to play ,the guitarist of UFO had forgottent his passport so the gig was up,Scorpions & UFO at some Univerity

[AXEFLYERFV]

,so UFO approached Michael to fill in for the missing guitarist!

then they asked him to join UFO but he told the Scorpions that he wouldn't leave until they had another guitarist, He already knew ULI so he asked Uli if he wanted to joing them so he did!

so in other words he left Scorpions for a better oportuny & to get out of Germany & he took it!!

[AXEFLYERFV]

the thing about him wanting to be the greatest guitarist & faster in the world is another conversation he mentions on another interview but he was talking about he had to slow down cause he was geting way too fast & by playing fast he would lose the feeling of playing from the heart! which is his trademark,you can't plays fast & melodic,I read your other comments on another UFO video & you said the real facts on why Schenker left the Scorpions!

[kingofthedeep]

Thanks. Just needed back up from the man.

I knew why.

Schenker and Roth Rule! No one else is even close.

Wished I was around to them live(In their prime with UFO/Scorps). I was about 4 years to late! I know you did.

[AXEFLYERFV]

You're welcome man,yes I was very fortunate to have discover them back in the days,take care King!

[zeratul45]

is the best solo of rock bottom!

[jackstriker]

Thank you for post.

[AXEFLYERFV]

you're welcome man!

[htbaydar]

Just sitting and watching this kind of music? interesting...

[LZ196880]

Rock Bottom with improvised lyrics! Thank goodness Phil gave it better lyrics for "Phenomenon"! Still awesome though!

[xlperro]

Klaus Meine looks like Charlie Manson

[gustavomde]

KLAUS MEINE ?IN UFO ?

[powerpooch2000]

It's not Klaus Meine it's Phil Mogg on vocals. or are you joking? because they do not look alike. also micheal shenker did do a sting with scorpions. maybe that's what you're thinking of.

[AXEFLYERFV]

I think  XLperro is refering to Klaus in the audience at 4:46 & gustavomde didn't understand what he meant, that Klause is standing in the audience!!

[Quake52]

Klaus Meine watching UFO.

[gustavomde]

Sorry i saw Meine later , he is watching the show...

[velocet1976]

Love the early Headbanging...!!!

[gogon2]

lmfao, back when klaus had the beard

[darerock]

space-time-continuum jams!

[grvulture]

God damn! I like it faster like that! Sounds way cooler than the studio version! They should record it like that!

[123IN321OUT]

That's funny... the old man stripper slams his shirt down with perfect timing before the halftime break.

[powerpooch2000]

I think the drugs were flowing freely back then.

[AXEFLYERFV]

oh yeah I am so sure of that it was as normal as drinking 1 of those energy drinks (monster ,Red bull & all that stuff they have out there) but way stronger ,,BTW,your Avatar is tripping me out,LOL!!

[graffiti1985yu]

rooooooooooooock!!!

[magdalenadelarosa]

Esta es una verdadera J♥o♥y♥a♥ ¡

Gracias por compartirla¡

[AXEFLYERFV]

I never knew there was the HD post of this video, howlong ago was it that you saw it?

[TheMichaelBolton]

oops...

I was looking for the "HQ" version that's available under the "click here for stereo" link at the right of the page.

Hmmm....Beer+me+interweb=stoop­id.

[zeratul45]

where do i can find the lyrics??

[AXEFLYERFV]

These lyrics for this performance don't exist,only the version from UFO "Phenomenon"!

[recordlabelmusic]

LIVE. Every band out there today, take note. This is how the big boys did it.

[t7schenker]

1973，Ｍｉｃｈａｅｌ　ｗａｓ　18ｙｅａｒｓ　ｏｌｄ．Ｂｅａｕｔｉｆｕｌ，ｙｏｕｎｇ，ａｎｄ　ｇｒｅａｔ．

[zeratul45]

just 18??? guau!!!!

[mytoob77]

Great stuff. Thank god Europe had enough sense to record rock 'n' roll acts live for TV back then, so we can enjoy them today. Thanks for posting!

[metalguitarist11]

headbangin! 4:43

[archieferrarini]

CLASSIC (((UFO))) !!!!

Phil seemed a TAD lost in the words !! COOL ANYWAY !!

UFO KICKS ASS !!!!

[trukwest]

A tad lost? The words are totally differant from the album, aside from Rock Bottom.

[AXEFLYERFV]

Correct!

this was before the album was recorded & released!

[trukwest]

You're right Dude. What the album came out in '76 or '77? I clicked on you link. I thought I was an UFO fan. You got me by a long shot. Strangers in the Night, best live album ever!

[AXEFLYERFV]

Phenomenon came out in 1974 ,Force it '75,No heavy petting '76, Lights out '77,Obsession , '78 ,SITN '79!

I agree with you Strangers in the night best live album ever!

thnx for tuning in brother!

,

[Wallonische]

Those striped trousers on Pete is just a tad bit much haha, oh my, just look at him

:))

[AXEFLYERFV]

well these where the '70's what else did you expect?

I think Steve harris from Iron Maiden still wears them!

evrybody had a paie back then,& wouldn't be surprise if that trend comes back!

[KataVideo]

W. T. F.

[Raiderblack]

That is cool with lame lyrics! I love when this song is played at this high tempo too!! UFO Rule!

[zomg314]

why are the lyrics different?

[AXEFLYERFV]

because this song hadn't even been recorded yet,the album Phenomenon with Schenker as the new guitarist was released the following year 1974,I think Phil Mogg was improvising these lyrics!

[TheEarnold]

pete way...what can you say? too cool.

[geisterbahn1]

Takes me back toSunderland Lacarno, !!!

[16penney]

Good stuff here, the early days of headbanging.Steve Harris of Iron Maiden must've been a big fan of Pete Way!

[asguitarstereo]

beautifull video-5*.bye

[vitality91]

One of the gratest songs ever!

[theonlywinner]

I love the old days when the camera would focus on the guitar solo instead of a scene change every 2 seconds like now.

[theonlywinner]

I think Andy Dick is the goofball bystander.

[xxxWILLYIDOLxxx]

Pete Way defined rock n roll. What a cool dude. I dig the alternate lyrics.
